“Kamaru is not the greatest welterweight of all time,” Woodley told MMA Fighting. “I’m the realest. I had the realest route. I had the realest reign. I was the person who dealt with the most stuff behind the scenes and still managed to win, that I don’t even speak about. I fought all the top contenders that were not big trash talkers. Nobody wanted to say a bad word about Demian Maia, Robbie Lawler or ‘Wonderboy’ [Stephen Thompson]. I fought all the up and coming guys. Even Usman and Colby [Covington] and [Darren] Till, those are all up and coming guys. “He’s not the greatest welterweight of all time. What he is, he is the one that kissed the most ass.” Woodley believes that Usman working hard to stay in White’s good graces over the years likely helped him secure that unofficial title as the welterweight GOAT more than what he did in the octagon. When it comes to accolades, Usman did defend the title five times with two wins over Colby Covington, two wins over Jorge Masvidal and a victory against Gilbert Burns. Still, Woodley argues that White’s declaration isn’t as much about championship credentials as praising someone who followed his lead and didn’t rock the boat. “He’s the one ‘Oh let’s have uncle Dana on my podcast,’” Woodley said about Usman. “’Let me accept every fight. Let me go to Vegas and just sit and loiter in his office every week and just try to stay in his good graces and just accept whatever offer.’
